I really like the phrase, "synthetic sex industry." Maybe that's a better term than "gender industry." The money being poured into these programs could probably feed all the low income families in the country - it's obscene that we're using taxpayer dollars this way.

I give credit to Jennifer Bilek for that but I have taken a liking to it. I used to call it medical identity. It does not fit as well as synthetic identity. The trans thing is hardly medicine. It only uses medicine. Synthetic sex also fits well with synthetic biology. Here is what the government says about that:

It goes to pretty creepy places IMO.

Yikes! That site is really creepy. I had forgotten Jennifer Bilek used the term too - thank you for resurrecting it!

All that money (tax payer $$$$) being wasted on problems caused by "gender feels" while middle aged people are dying from an uptick of pancreatic and liver cancers. The US is the wealthiest country in the world yet doesn't have Universal Healthcare AND has one of the unhealthiest/sickest populations in the world? It's baffling that NGO's and research institutions get so much money and produce so little in return. We are definitely in late stage Capitalism!

I could not agree more about the money all while people are falling dead. I am wary of 'Universal Healthcare' though - although cannot say this is my wheelhouse. There is a drive towards'Universal Basic Income.' Do we then use our UBI to pay for UBH based on a 'one health' paradigm where our choices for care are driven by viewing human bodies only as commodities?
